Wow that was excellent, very thorough but also easy to read and with minimal fluff My personal take is that DevOps doesn't work (for me, and probably many others) because it amounts to context-switching (recently featured on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32390499 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32390499). By being responsible for both Dev and Ops, my time (and my brain) gets split 50/50 into two entirely different sets of: - Concerns - Languages - Tools - Mindsets This is both super draining, and counter-productive, for me. If Ops can be made so simple (by a platform team or otherwise) that it doesn't amount to a whole separate headspace, then great, I'll manage instances myself. But as long as it's a whole separate domain, trying to have one foot on each side of the fence is just not going to be workable.
